Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Page 144

INFO hold N
EMER hold O
When a key is held, the character for the push of that key will be sent first. The hold
character will be sent once per second (unless the repeat rate has been changed) while
the key is held. For the combinations (SEL, INFO and EMER) each key code will be
sent as that key is pushed. Thus, when holding the SEL combination the Argus will
send "D" when AUX is first pushed, "E" will be sent when SEL is pushed (AUX and
DEP) and finally "M" will be sent after one second has passed. Iftlie remote switches
are installed then they will send the same characters as the SEL and INFO combination
without the initial "D" since AUX is not pushed first.
The rotary knob is normally used by the Argus to turn power on and off, and to adjust
the screen brightness. It is also used during Argus map operation as a data input
device. For instance, if a character must be selected as part of a waypoint, turning the
knob clockwise scrolls through the alphabet A-Z-0-9, and turning it CCW scrolls 9-0-
Z-A. In the terminal mode, the knob, by default, does NOT provide any RS-232
output. You can use the knob to output data by sending the following character
sequence to the Argus:
<ESO[78m where <ESC> is ASCII character 27 decimal
After this sequence is received, the following codes will be output:
POWER hit P
POWER hold Q
KNOB CW R
KNOB CCW S
If the knob is not being actively used to input data, it is good practice to relinquish
control so that the user can adjust the screen brightness. You do so by sending the
following sequence:
<ESO[77m
